Description

Anonymous comment posters do no receive email notification of replies to their comments, even if they leave their email as indicated as indicated.

There should be a way to communicate back with anonymous comment posters which provide their email (and have some new checkbox ticked by default with "Notify me of replies")

That's one of the main differences why there is lot of feedback on content in wordpress or other blogs or cms/s and almost no comments and feedback from anons to Tiki sites. If they ever come to leave a comment, they do not get feedback on their comment, and they are implicitly discouraged to come back or provide more feedback (or even become real users, when the site is open for anonymous registrations).

Solution

Fixed/coded in trunk (for tiki17, then, so far, as it is) with commits r59950 and r59951 by kroky6 (thanks!) .
Maybe backportable to 16.x and 15.x once 16.0 is out?

Workaround

Reuse or extend somehow this recent improvement in trunk? r56888
[NEW] Allow users to login to Tiki using temporary user account via a token with the perms of specified groups (without needing permanent user account)
